We made it to Mopti after spending a long time in Djenne. I was as sick as a dog.

Feel better now.

Africa Dispatch: Mali

We are in Bamako, Mali. We? Yes, we. My girlfriend Chiho joined me on my travels in Dakar and together we will spend a couple of months exploring West- and Central Africa. Chiho is a designer and photographer and we frequently collaborate on projects, the last one being the Iraq book (http://www.iraq.christophbangert.com/) which we edited and designed together. Chiho is also an excellent co-pilot, navigator, cook, and packer of things. She has the ability to make huge piles of equipment, clothes and camera gear fit into a tiny metal box.
Additionally she is an experienced video shooter and editor. We started to publish short video clips on my blog, so please take a second to check them out, along with some new still images:

The real reason for Chiho to be part of this trip is obviously to bring some sanity and patience into the Land Rover, which so far has worked extremely well. It has been a huge improvement for the journey to have her with me.

We finally arrived in Bamako after days of fighting with mudd and flat tires and water shortages and mosquitoes. But not with each other…

Check out Chiho’s blog for some more details.

Chiho and I made it from Kaolak to Tambacounda today. The road was bad. Very bad. And it was raining, too.

Tomorrow we will enter Mali.

Chiho is keeping a blog and she is far more active in keeping it, so check it out:
